The Phoenix Incident Page #2

as much for you

as I am for him, come on.

F***!

Yeah, I hear you! God dang.

Hey, hey, hey!

- What's up, man?!

- Ready? Whattup?!

- Look at Jacob, looking good,

buddy. Where's Ryan?

What? He's still asleep.

Sh-shh!

Whoo!

Give me some! Give me some!

Get the f*** outta here!

- Yeah, I know. No, I f***ed it

up on that last jump,

it's not gonna zoom anymore.

- Oh, sh*t.

- It'll be fine, though,

I just can't zoom.

- It'll be great!

- "B*tches!"

Aw, man, if we don't get out

of here this day

it's 'cause of YOU, you...

What's the problem?

- The zipper's stuck.

- No, it's not. Hold on.

- Leather.

- Smells like victory.

- Leather!

So good.

So good.

- Out, out, out!

- Out, out, out!

One! Two! Three!

- After you.

- Oh, thank you, love.

- I mean, for years,

they told us it was over.

You know, they couldn't

explain the reports,

the bone fragments,

the lack of evidence.

How good do I look? Huh?

- No one would help us.

I mean, if... if our boys are

dead, where are the bodies?

You guys look great.

- But no parent should have

to outlive their kid.

We just wanna know

what happened to our boys.

- What?

- By coming forward

with this information now

you risk exposing

a military operation

that led to the disappearance

of these four men.

How did you become

involved with this event?

- In 1997, I was stationed

at Luke Air Force Base

in Phoenix, Arizona

as part of a special operations

aerial unit.

- And the weeks

leading up to the incident,

had you experienced

any warning signs

about an impending attack?

- There were reports

of livestock mutilations,

things of that nature

on our side of the spectrum.

We had experienced, uh...

atmospheric anomalies

about 50 clicks west

of the range.

- That's in an area where

the four men were abducted?

- That's right.

- But there was

no other indication

of an attack or an invasion?

- No. No, not at that time.

- And leading up

to the incident,

were you or your superiors

aware

of the four civilian men

prior to that night?

- No, we were not.

- Walton Gayson?

- No.

- Were you aware that the men

had been recording themselves?

Did you... did you know

that the footage existed?

- Not at that time,

I have subsequently

become aware of that.

I thought you had to piss?!

- Dude.

- Can I get space?

Dude!

- All right, fine!

Is this what you want?

This is what I want.

- It's gonna take me a minute,

hold on, with you watchin'.

- Are you pee shy? Don't move.

I'm gonna try to get it

between your legs.

- Nobody look,

I get really embarrassed.

- Oh my God,

what are you doing?

Holy sh*t.

Did that freak you out

at all? Is that gay?

Is this intimidating anybody?

Is that a squirt bottle?

Got it on my shorts.

- That's what happens

when you pee into the wind.

- Off a tire, into the wind.

- My father would be so proud.

God.

- At that time Hale-Bopp

was making its approach

to the North-West.

0430 Nor Comm El Paso reported

a... a triangular shape

that was trailing

behind the comet's tail.

- Did you know

what the object was?

- They referred to it

as a Chevron,

but no, nobody knew

what the hell it was.

At 0700 there was traffic

about a separation.

The object had been following

the comet

until 1.32 aeronautical units,

at which time

it began a break-off

and a rapid descent

into our atmosphere.

- And was there any

indication where it was heading?

- Yeah, somewhere over Arizona.

- Yeah, this is how it begins!

- We're gonna have

to stop for gas first.

- Sup, buddy?

- Whoa! Hello-o.

- We should take those, yeah?

- Yeah, I know, right?

Hey, here, take it, take it,

take it.

I gotta show ya something.

I've been practicing.

- Come on, man, I thought

you were ready to go!

Here, ready?

You son of a b*tch!

- That's just like the best

thing I have ever seen.

- No, it's not!

- Mitch was a good kid.

He didn't deserve any of this.

- Well, the family took

the disappearance really hard.

Especially since

Mitch's brother Mark,

he, uh, died in a helicopter

crash

in '92, two years

after the Gulf War.

- You know, I think that's why

Mitch and Glenn had that...

I, I think, you know,

growing up around military,

they, they were like family,

you know, they uh...

they were close,

they were really

tight knit,

and... and once Mark passed

on, definitely more so, I think,

like, Glenn became

like a brother to Mitch.

- You could model...

- Don't "big brother" him right now.

- Just be nice,

you just gotta be nice.

- Look, I'm being nice, I'm

telling him that he's brilliant.

So, why aren't you painting?

You never paint.

- I do paint.

- Dude, how come

you don't make music.

If you're a...

if you're all a musician...

- Ooh, I like it! That's a...

that's a very good idea!

- This is not about me,

this is about him.

- "Why don't you

make music?"

- You know why he doesn't have

to make music?

Because he dresses like

he makes music,

and that's the important part.

- You know what

that the difference is,

is I'm gonna be

a librarian who paints.

You're gonna f***in' go

to L.A. and you're gonna...

you know, we're gonna listen

to you on the radio.

- Damn straight.

- You know, you're my best friend,

but you need to get

the f*** away from me

and get the hell out of here...

You know...

- You said I was

your best friend.

- Only on Sunday nights.

- You two belong.

- I'm gonna go smoke pot.

- Run, keep running,

all the way to the coast.

- If you don't, if you don't

come back,

we know you've gone

to Los Angeles

to be a rock 'n' roll star.

- Dude...

- Turn the f***in' camera off.

- You just f***in' ran

outta there?

- Turn the f***ing camera off,

please.

- ...f***in' problem, man.

F*** that guy, dude...

I love him, I know...

- Ryan, he's doing it because

he loves you...

- No, he's not.

The only reason why he...

- No, we all do, 'cause we want you...

because we know you're f***in' good.

- I get it.

But I don't need to hear it

from f***ing Jake

who can't get over his wife,

who won't take his f***in'

wedding ring off,

that I need to change my life

and do something with him.

Why doesn't he get off his ass

and do anything?

- That's his problem.

- It's his problem, but I don't need to be...

I know what I'm doing

with my life and at least...

out of the four of us,

I've got...

I've got a plan

to do something,

I'm not just sitting on my ass

and, and...

I don't know, dude.

You can't just...

I'm willing to do it. I'll pack

everything that I have

in the back of my car

and f***ing drive,

and I'll get there.

And I'll pump gas,

I'll paint houses, I don't

give a sh*t what I have to do.

Well, just... Maybe there's

a side of me

that doesn't wanna leave,

I mean... I don't know, I mean,

- I'm... certainly

not one to talk...

- Yeah, I know, I know,

we're good.

- You don't believe Gayson

acted alone?

- When you're doing

a criminal investigation,

you look at every possibility,
